Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9943200A1] An apparatus for shearing the stems of crops and the like comprises first and second shearing members (1, 2) movable to and away from each other, and a drive for effecting the movement of at least one shearing member. The drive of the shearing member is such that the relative movement of the shearing members (1, 2) includes both a component of motion perpendicular to the cutting plane and a component of motion parallel thereto. The first shearing member (1) is stationary and constructed as anvil, whereas the second shearing member (2) is movable. The drive of the second shearing member (2) is constructed as circular drive such that the component of motion of the second shearing member (2) parallel to the cutting plane is continued in the same direction after engagement with the first shearing member (1) and before the returning movement is started. The apparatus according to the invention excels by good cutting performance and a wide usability.
